Avon is one of the 29 annual stops for the shows reaching from Michigan through Ohio to Pennsylvania, according to a news release.

Each show features a unique set of vendors with 100 percent handmade items, the release said.

Since launching in 2011, Avant-Garde has brought the area together to shop, giving area businesses an opportunity to grow and have raised over $33,000 for local nonprofits, according to the release.

At every event, Avant-Garde selects a local organization to support and raise money for and at the Avon show they will support Prayers for Maria, a nonprofit dedicated to funding global research on childhood brain tumors, the release said.

“We are excited to be launching in the Avon market,” aid Becki Silverstein, owner of the Avant-Garde Arts and Craft Shows. “We’ve been planning on coming to the area for some time now, and 2018 was the perfect year to make the announcement.

“We have a lot of fantastic talent that we look forward to sharing with the community, and we are equally as excited to raise funds for such a great cause, Prayers from Maria.”

Admission is $3 to the public and children younger than the age of 12 are free.
